A House-Cat doesn´t kill for fun but outta Instinct...and anyone who owns one...it´s a honor when your cat brings you the prey (even though it would be better if they kill it sometimes before bringing it^^)...they want to show you that they like you ;)
nature used to be a democracy you know! The prey animals voted who got eaten and that should have been it. But the one that was voted to get eaten kept running away or into the crowd that voted them to be eaten, the predators got mixed up with who was elected to be eaten, so the predators took matters into their own paws and just ate whoever was easiest to catch. The prey animals voted that since the predators had undermined their democratic rights that they would no longer co-operate. so there!
why you guys talking religion? hey if people want to believe somthing came from nothing then let them...lol. it doesnt change the fact that jesus christ is lord.
im only watching this video to imagine my dad was the elk:) FU..k you people who watch murder and say how beautful it is, and fu.k u ppl who are gonna say its mother nature, u jus watch, when u get murdered than youll kno what i mean
@cuteschoolboy Goodness! Well I hope the next time you eat a hamburger, a t bone steak, chicken or ribs..I sincerely hope you choke to death! At least we wouldnt call your death.....a murder! idiot!
@cuteschoolboy Bro, this cougar was only doing what it could to survive. Why don't you imagine that you're a cougar (it would be hard since you don't have their instincts and you're human after all). The cougar is raised to understand that it needs to hunt to survive (you know, to eat). There are many videos of predators NOT killing animals because they have eaten already for the day, etc. These animals need to do this to survive. They don't enjoy it, either. It's a need, not a want...
@cuteschoolboy unless you are a vegetarian, how do you get your food? There are plenty of animals in farms that are raised in horrible conditions only to be slaughtered. Hunting your own food is better because you don't eat animals raised in farms and you also get to appreciate animals more once you have caught your own food.
Every animal on this planet exists for a reason. If too many of them are killed off, it will have catastrophic consequences. Personally I think Cougars should be left alone. They should not be killed unless their is no other option. Everyone has the right to protect themselves and their families.
I believe in science when it is taught properly. But nobody can say that an animal does not have the capacity for emotion. I believe that my dog loves me, and would die to protect me. I also love my dog. We will leave it at that.
I am very skeptical of todays scientists. They claim to have proven this, and proven that. In reality, they haven't proven shit! They cannot distinguish fact from fiction. The theory of evolution is exactly what it says. A theory! There is no fact about it. That is just one of many.
@wolf987123 'Theory' does not mean the same thing in science as it does in a cop drama. Scientists test their theories against one another and eliminate the ones that can't be proven. READ! Please read about how scientists know what they know. Just (I hate to belabor the point) READ! Every aspect of science backs up every other aspect. To deny that evolution has taken place is to say that biologists, archaeologists, physicists, geologists, and chemists ALL have it wrong. They don't. Please..READ
@plokijuhujiko098 They haven't proved anything beond a reasonable doubt. They are just assumptions. Many things that have happened in our universe defy the laws of physics completely. It is impossible to prove how everything began.
@wolf987123 I appreciate your calm demeanor and your invitation to continue the debate. My previous post had a bit of alcohol fueling the anger and reads pretty sanctimonious to me now. Apologies. That said, I feel that while there are things that we cannot yet explain regarding the cosmos, there is almost NOTHING that we cannot explain regarding our own planet. We know how life works. The explanations are there and they make sense. The information is neither hard to find or to understand.
What about when you're playing tug of war with your dog. How about the fact that the motion he does with his neck to pull the rope is the same motion wolves will do to snap the spine of many a small creature. Leave your warm fuzzy feelings out of it and go play with your dog.
Human emotions are really just a construct of our social nature. This is probably the reason why animals, especially other mammals, especially other socially evolved mammals, seem to emulate human emotions. BUT for anyone to claim that a waggin tail is happy is crazy. I think a waggin tail is a waggin tail...and it makes me happy. My dog seems to "enjoy" fetching a ball but maybe in his "mind" he is simply hunting the ball. What a cruel perversion of his killer instinct.
@wolf987123 part 3 So I'm not saying that the zebra is not aware that it is injured but rather it's perception of pain is different. If a human was missing half his skin he wouldn't be walking around looking like other humans. So the idea that a wagging tail means that your dog is happy is completely false. It most likely is just a biological response to you coming home and hopefully feeding him, taking him for a walk. This is NOT a justification to be cruel to animals just a reality check
@yootoob69er I cannot carry on a conversation with people who have a Forrest Gump level IQ. I think it is funny how people act so intelligent without knowing the fact that education does not define intelligence. Some of the most educated people on the planet lack intelligence. I don't need your reality checks. Especially when they lack merit. You think that evidence is everything. Ok, then what have you proven? What did Charles Darwin prove?
Faithinthefield what year of school did you complete because its obvious your not educated well enough to no animals have emotions but show them in other ways so you are saying the scientific community is wrong rite now wow lol!
Wrong...animals do not have emotion. They have feelings and reactions...not emotions. I too go for a clean kill so the animal doesn't suffer, but I have yet to see one cry or laugh. To relate humans to any animal is just plain silly...and for me to point out the reasons why would be silly. It's obvious.
Many animals have the capacity to experience emotions, the mere fact that you have never seen an animal express emotions in the same way as a human is no evidence to the contrary. Humans are animals, we only happen to much more successful than they are. A cat purrs when content and a dog wags its tail when happy, a human might laugh instead. They are just different ways of expressing the same emotion that differs between species.
@FaithintheFieldcom What about your dog when he is wagging his tail because he is happy to see you? Animals do have feelings. They just don't express them like we do.
@wolf987123 Part 1 That you believe to know what animals or how animals feel is insulting. Give me evidence! Yes other mammals have simmilar nervous circuitry as humans but there is evidence that the perception of pain by mammals is vastly different from hummans. Perception is what matters otherwise there would be a lot less surgeries around. For example if pain was percieved the same way by a deer it would most likely increase it's probability of being killed. Think about how most...
part 2 ... how most humans respond to pain and then realize that there are videos of zebras with half their skin missing but they behave like any other zebra out there. Why? Because them lions are hungry and they will pick on you if you behave injured. A human womans c-section is further proof of this. Her perception of pain is vastly altered by drugs (at least in most cases). This allows doctors to cut open her body while she is asking them whether or not their done!
I hunt and I never assume that any animal is incapable of emotion. I fully expect that the animal can experience basic emotions just like my dogs. It is for that reason that I try to kill cleanly, and try to dispatch the animal as quickly as possible. I do not want the animal to suffer. I agree with Devious that cougars are not a great threat to humans. We are in far more danger driving our own cars!!
Animals do NOT have emotions...elk and deer numbers are declining BECAUSE of cougars, we ARE part of nature and need to manage our resources better...meaning, keeping cougar populations in check before we see videos like this with children and people in place of that elk.
Animals DO have emotions, to argue otherwise is just silly. For example, a cougar can feel fear, anger and contentment just as readily as we can. We humans are animals and we can feel emotions, therefore it is only logical to assume that animals also have this capacity. Cougars are hardly a threat to humans, and only rarely are humans ever attacked and even more rarely killed.
@FaithintheFieldcom ... What. If anything, the cougars are keeping the elk and deer populations in check. The reason why deer and elk aren't in your back yard? Cougars. Want to know how the grass is still growing? Cougars. We might as well wipe out the human population, we are making many beautiful animals extinct! We have no purpose in life but destroy. >.< (No offense to anyone)
@CougarXprt Excuse me for not seeing an sort of relevance to the comment I posted in your comment... Well, my answer is very very very very easy. In fact the best words are Mindlessly easy. Now please do explain the relevance towards my comment.
No, im a person who cares deeply about animals. If you want to go shoot a cougar for fun go head, but remember that it is a living creature with emotions, and might have cubs too young to survive on their own. But im sure you could care less, nothing can justify killing an animal.
@CougarXprt You are a total nutjob. Never at any point in this conversation did I mention shooting a Cougar. Go hug a tree you crazy fucking hippie, and quit putting words in peoples mouths like you and all of your liberal friends do.
well im not a cougar expert but ive got about three of them damn things on my land here in south dakota and ive seen them leave almost complete deer all around
@CougarXprt you probably think that coyotes, fox, bear, bobcats, wolves and other predators only kill to eat. which is completely FALSE!!! you're not an expert dont pretend that you are.
haven't you ever heard the saying "fox in a hen house"? a fox will kill every chicken there
@hunterofcoyotes to eat ya.... don't get mad at me or anything, but they they need to eat everything they can so that they won't starve... and yes, they will sometime's kill to protect their terriotry. but think about it, if they get in a fight and get injured,their dead. So they stay out of fights, unless their protecting their cubs/pups. So you're partially right.
Ps: Do you really hunt coyotes, or do just not like the species?
@burnmoon1 really? where are you from? you've obviously never found a couple of lion killed deer in the same field which he only ate part of. have you ever watched a cat kill a mouse? they usually just play with it until they get bored and then they kill it. there are too many people that think that "nature" is so "balanced" which is pretty ignorant to think that death only occurs in nature in order for another species to survive
yep, i do hunt coyotes. i dislike finding half eaten fawns
@hunterofcoyotes it probably stashed them away for future eating. But really, think about. If plankton dies, the plankton eaters die, the predators die, plants die,plant eaters die, and so forth. not a single animal death, but a whole species.
And that would cause mass xtinction.... not a very happy thing to think about o_O
And it could've heard/smelled/saw you and ran away.
i don't have a real problem with hunters that hunt a species that's doing fine.
That is not true, mountain lions 9 times out of 10 eat their prey, where are you getting your info? And by the way, i've been studying mountain lions since i was 15, im not pretending to be anything.
The house cat kills for fun, true, but the house cat is a domesticated animal. You can't assume mountain lions kill for fun because a spoiled cat does. Cougars don't kill for fun, if they did they would starve. A mountain lions life is a constant struggle. They're always competing for food. Bears, coyotes, wolves, ect. They often starve to death, and once they're old enough to hunt, play times over, and again where are you getting your info?
@CougarXprt The house cat is NOT domesticated. It is a wild animal. It does not kill for fun (although it will try to prolong the thrill of the hunt by playing with it's prey). The house cat is the same as every cat out there on the planet. It is a predator with incredible instincts. They also happen to be very affectionate and make excellent pets. But make no mistake - they are completely wild. If you dumped your cat in the wild - it would survive. Your dog? Not likely...
The house cat? Ok, take a house cat, feed it, give it shelter, give it a litter box, give it protection, get it fixed, the wrecklessness in the animal slowly fades away. One might call this domesticated, and I am not saying it's not an animal, but over time, it's not as much a WILD animal, and you cannot compare it to a cougar. A cougar travels great distances, kills large prey(sometimes twice it's size), and most important, it is all alone, it protects itself. A lone killer...
The bottom line is a house cat is an animal, and it can injure and in some cases even kill a human, it has the instincts, it has the capability to survive, but it lacks some skills it needs to survive as long as its big cousins. However a feral cat is a different story.
@CougarXprt You're ill informed. A "feral" cat is most often a house cat that has gone wild. In NY city there are over 2 million feral cats. They didn't migrate there by chasing herds of elk (LOL) - they were discarded pets that learned to survive.
A house cat has NEVER been domesticated. It is 100% wild. It will live happily within the confines of a home but it has every ability necessary to survive in the wild (unless, of course it is very overweight).
@davidleealford - Domestication (from Latin domesticus) or taming is the process whereby a population of animals or plants, through a process of selection, becomes accustomed to human provision and control.
While technically the house cat (Felis catus) can fall into that definition it also can just as easily fall under the definition of a "wild" animal.
@bluesgurugod, cats, through selection, have not become accustomed to human provision and control? They are affectionate to humans, whereas other wild species are not. Yes, some can survive in the wild, but many will be killed by coyotes and other predators and they no longer have totally appropriate defenses against such predators. Further, many species of domesticated animals can survive just as well if not better in the bush/wild. E.g., horses, goats, pigs, aquarium fish, and so forth.
@bluesgurugod it's dead already because your statements about cats never being domesticated are false. Where it began only you know for some reason you think making stuff up is cool.
Im ill informed? Well 1000 of your new york ferals probably die from getting hit by cars every day, and the ones that survive are fed by human garbage or a giant rodent, which also survives off human filth, thats not survival, sounds more like their gettn fed. Take your house cat, take him into the wyoming wilderness, and see how long it'll last without humans. That cats gona be coyote food in 2 days tops.
@CougarXprt I once saw a video in which a small camera was placed on top of a cat's head in an urban area. They monitored the cat for a few hours and within that time it had over 20(!) rat kills. Most Orinthologists attribute the house cat as the number one reason for the rapid decline in birds in North America. Bears eat Cougars Cougars eat Coyotes Coyotes eat Cats Cats eat Rats Rats eat mice Mice eat Beetles Beetles eat Spiders Spiders eat flys etc... ever seen a dog catch a cat?
Well like i said, the reason the rats breed and populate so quickly is because they have easy access to food. Mainly garbage, providing enough rats for a neighborhood cat to catch a few, and the birds, well ive seen many birds stop to pick up some food dropped by humans and where im from, if you throw 1 pizza in the road, 30 seconds later youll have 20 seagulls fightn over it, so the cycle in the city is, cats eat rats and birds, rats and birds eat trash, in the wild there is less trash, get it?
@bluesgurugod buddy, the cats we own as pets are domesticated. you ever try picking up an actual wild kitty? you'd notice a difference real quick.
yes most could survive on their own, just the same with a dog. it does however depend on the creature in question. some are too stupid, but in general, both cats and dogs could make it.
@bluesgurugod How many cats do you see in the deep wild? Like 50+ miles away from any city? None, or at least not for very long. They're domesticated, just different from dogs. There are cats that befriend dogs, birds, and mice. Dead in wild.
@bluesgurugod If you put a housecat out in the wild, it would most likely starve. Or it would get eaten by Coyotes. Or maybe it would show up at my farm half starved to death where my highly territorial Tomcat "Pickles" would tear it apart. Like he has done numerous times. Housecats haven't been trained to be killers.
@wilknight12345 that depends because i used to live on a farm and they had cats that were outside cats, the survived by themselves and everything. but if you let them out in the city it would be a lot harder for them to survive.
@hunterofcoyotes i have a problem with cowards going out hunting such small animals with guns what are you overcompensating for something you lack get a real hobby you fucking hick
burnmoon there is a deer hunting season in CA. As far as dates are concern it depends on what zone you will be hunting in. Maybe it's a little complex for a small brain Obama loving fag like you are. Honestly fag, stupid comments like yours are really not needed here. As we are only the best and brightest. Got a great task for you. Find a bridge and count to yourself how fast you fall before landing on two feet??? Jump!!!
the cougar fills the niche of the lion. leopard and cheetah in north america...it has certain talents of each cat mentioned though not to the same degree....
@hyperliter i hope you die soon. Without tree huggers, earth would be GONE. maybe if people like you weren't alive, a bunch of species would be alive today, and earth wouldn't be a garbage can.
Joy to the world, hyperliter is dead!
Lets BRQ his head!
Don't worry about the body, we'll flush it down potty,
@burnmoon1 Why don't you try to make me, you are a very sick person. Why don't you dress up like a deer during the der season and go walking in the woods.
@hunterfred1 i just did make you shut up. And i don't have a deer costume, and there is no deer hunting season in California.. i think. i think im getting the better side of this arguement.
woah strength of a cougar, it makes me laugh that some ppl think a wolf could take a cougar 1 on 1 even without claws a cougar would be to powerful for a wolf
little dick you probley be the one to get close anough to get eating by a couger,keep being a tree huger or a animal protester,like the people in portland oregon, intell they had problems with the cougers they cganged the mind then. YOU HAVE SEEN TV WHERE PEOPLE GET ATTACKED BY THEM.

Animals do NOT have emotions...elk and deer numbers are declining BECAUSE of cougars, we ARE part of nature and need to manage our resources better...meaning, keeping cougar populations in check before we see videos like this with children and people in place of that elk.

@FaithintheFieldcom
Animals DO have emotions, to argue otherwise is just silly. For example, a cougar can feel fear, anger and contentment just as readily as we can. We humans are animals and we can feel emotions, therefore it is only logical to assume that animals also have this capacity. Cougars are hardly a threat to humans, and only rarely are humans ever attacked and even more rarely killed.
Devious8886 1 year ago 2
@FaithintheFieldcom ... What. If anything, the cougars are keeping the elk and deer populations in check. The reason why deer and elk aren't in your back yard? Cougars. Want to know how the grass is still growing? Cougars. We might as well wipe out the human population, we are making many beautiful animals extinct! We have no purpose in life but destroy. >.< (No offense to anyone)

No, im a person who cares deeply about animals. If you want to go shoot a cougar for fun go head, but remember that it is a living creature with emotions, and might have cubs too young to survive on their own. But im sure you could care less, nothing can justify killing an animal.

Well although that is completely false, it is possible that it could get rabies, even then, the odds are it will still eat it....

@CougarXprt you probably think that coyotes, fox, bear, bobcats, wolves and other predators only kill to eat. which is completely FALSE!!! you're not an expert dont pretend that you are.
haven't you ever heard the saying "fox in a hen house"? a fox will kill every chicken there
hunterofcoyotes 1 year ago
@hunterofcoyotes to eat ya.... don't get mad at me or anything, but they they need to eat everything they can so that they won't starve... and yes, they will sometime's kill to protect their terriotry. but think about it, if they get in a fight and get injured,their dead. So they stay out of fights, unless their protecting their cubs/pups. So you're partially right.
Ps: Do you really hunt coyotes, or do just not like the species?
burnmoon1 1 year ago
@burnmoon1 really? where are you from? you've obviously never found a couple of lion killed deer in the same field which he only ate part of. have you ever watched a cat kill a mouse? they usually just play with it until they get bored and then they kill it. there are too many people that think that "nature" is so "balanced" which is pretty ignorant to think that death only occurs in nature in order for another species to survive
yep, i do hunt coyotes. i dislike finding half eaten fawns
hunterofcoyotes 1 year ago
@hunterofcoyotes it probably stashed them away for future eating. But really, think about. If plankton dies, the plankton eaters die, the predators die, plants die,plant eaters die, and so forth. not a single animal death, but a whole species.
And that would cause mass xtinction.... not a very happy thing to think about o_O
And it could've heard/smelled/saw you and ran away.
i don't have a real problem with hunters that hunt a species that's doing fine.

That is not true, mountain lions 9 times out of 10 eat their prey, where are you getting your info? And by the way, i've been studying mountain lions since i was 15, im not pretending to be anything.
CougarXprt 1 year ago
@CougarXprt 9/10? i'm sure that applies.....sometimes, but not all the time. it really depends on the availability of food.
look at the most common cousin of the cougar: the house cat. they'll kill for food or just for fun depending on how hungry they are.
predators "practice' to keep their skills sharp. and in times of a windfall they will kill just to kill. predators are innately opportunistic
hunterofcoyotes 1 year ago
@hunterofcoyotes
The house cat kills for fun, true, but the house cat is a domesticated animal. You can't assume mountain lions kill for fun because a spoiled cat does. Cougars don't kill for fun, if they did they would starve. A mountain lions life is a constant struggle. They're always competing for food. Bears, coyotes, wolves, ect. They often starve to death, and once they're old enough to hunt, play times over, and again where are you getting your info?
CougarXprt 1 year ago 21
@CougarXprt The house cat is NOT domesticated. It is a wild animal. It does not kill for fun (although it will try to prolong the thrill of the hunt by playing with it's prey). The house cat is the same as every cat out there on the planet. It is a predator with incredible instincts. They also happen to be very affectionate and make excellent pets. But make no mistake - they are completely wild. If you dumped your cat in the wild - it would survive. Your dog? Not likely...
bluesgurugod 8 months ago 10
@bluesgurugod
The house cat? Ok, take a house cat, feed it, give it shelter, give it a litter box, give it protection, get it fixed, the wrecklessness in the animal slowly fades away. One might call this domesticated, and I am not saying it's not an animal, but over time, it's not as much a WILD animal, and you cannot compare it to a cougar. A cougar travels great distances, kills large prey(sometimes twice it's size), and most important, it is all alone, it protects itself. A lone killer...
CougarXprt 7 months ago
@bluesgurugod
The bottom line is a house cat is an animal, and it can injure and in some cases even kill a human, it has the instincts, it has the capability to survive, but it lacks some skills it needs to survive as long as its big cousins. However a feral cat is a different story.
CougarXprt 7 months ago
@CougarXprt You're ill informed. A "feral" cat is most often a house cat that has gone wild. In NY city there are over 2 million feral cats. They didn't migrate there by chasing herds of elk (LOL) - they were discarded pets that learned to survive.
A house cat has NEVER been domesticated. It is 100% wild. It will live happily within the confines of a home but it has every ability necessary to survive in the wild (unless, of course it is very overweight).

@bluesgurugod I'd be interested in your definition of domestication. btw, you might want to check the scientific name of house cats...
davidleealford 6 months ago
@davidleealford - Domestication (from Latin domesticus) or taming is the process whereby a population of animals or plants, through a process of selection, becomes accustomed to human provision and control.
While technically the house cat (Felis catus) can fall into that definition it also can just as easily fall under the definition of a "wild" animal.
bluesgurugod 6 months ago
@bluesgurugod, cats, through selection, have not become accustomed to human provision and control? They are affectionate to humans, whereas other wild species are not. Yes, some can survive in the wild, but many will be killed by coyotes and other predators and they no longer have totally appropriate defenses against such predators. Further, many species of domesticated animals can survive just as well if not better in the bush/wild. E.g., horses, goats, pigs, aquarium fish, and so forth.

Im ill informed? Well 1000 of your new york ferals probably die from getting hit by cars every day, and the ones that survive are fed by human garbage or a giant rodent, which also survives off human filth, thats not survival, sounds more like their gettn fed. Take your house cat, take him into the wyoming wilderness, and see how long it'll last without humans. That cats gona be coyote food in 2 days tops.

Well like i said, the reason the rats breed and populate so quickly is because they have easy access to food. Mainly garbage, providing enough rats for a neighborhood cat to catch a few, and the birds, well ive seen many birds stop to pick up some food dropped by humans and where im from, if you throw 1 pizza in the road, 30 seconds later youll have 20 seagulls fightn over it, so the cycle in the city is, cats eat rats and birds, rats and birds eat trash, in the wild there is less trash, get it?

@bluesgurugod buddy, the cats we own as pets are domesticated. you ever try picking up an actual wild kitty? you'd notice a difference real quick.
yes most could survive on their own, just the same with a dog. it does however depend on the creature in question. some are too stupid, but in general, both cats and dogs could make it.
ghag17 6 months ago
@bluesgurugod How many cats do you see in the deep wild? Like 50+ miles away from any city? None, or at least not for very long. They're domesticated, just different from dogs. There are cats that befriend dogs, birds, and mice. Dead in wild.

@bluesgurugod If you put a housecat out in the wild, it would most likely starve. Or it would get eaten by Coyotes. Or maybe it would show up at my farm half starved to death where my highly territorial Tomcat "Pickles" would tear it apart. Like he has done numerous times. Housecats haven't been trained to be killers.
wilknight12345 4 months ago
@wilknight12345 that depends because i used to live on a farm and they had cats that were outside cats, the survived by themselves and everything. but if you let them out in the city it would be a lot harder for them to survive.
